Arsene Wenger in training ahead of the match against Galatasaray Getty Images

Arsene Wenger revealed how much Arsenal’s 5-1 February defeat at Anfield hurt this morning, as he prepares to take his team back there on Sunday.

Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool side shredded Arsenal last season as part of a run that nearly won them the Premier League. They have not been the same team this year, though, since the departure of Luis Suarez. Wenger is hoping for a different result in Sunday’s match.

“Liverpool scored over hundred goals later year. They were very good going forward. This season they have scored 19, so they are not on the same trend offensively. They started out strong that day and we were too late to get into the game.”

Suffered a hamstring injury against Manchester United in the FA Cup and hasn't played since as it has exacerbated a groin problem. Out at least until May and facing surgery in the summer.

4/5
Aaron Ramsey (midfield)

Aaron Ramsey caught a kick on his calf during the win over Hull and was later substituted. The Welshman was rated 50/50 for the Swansea match by Wenger, but it now appears that he is a major doubt for the clash at the Emirates.
